Ep. #230 – Case Studies in Papal Infallibility w/ Dr. John Joy

Summary

How can we know when a Pope has spoken infallibly? What are the conditions that must be met? Did Pope Leo XIII speak infallibly in Providentissimus Deus? Did the Pope speak infallibly in Humanae Vitae or Evangelium Vitae? What should we make of the “manifestly evident” criterion in canon law? Dr. John Joy returns to the show to discuss these topics as we look at his recent book Disputed Questions on Papal Infallibility.
